A Great Wrong.
Editor LIGHT:


The Waterworks company recently
turned off the water from a lone woman,
hard struggling In this unfriendly
world, with little child OF three or
four summers. She may have used the
water too freely, but on notice would at
once have Obeyed any order to be duly
saving OF the precious fluid. She is able
and willing to pay, and make good any
damage. While the money advanced
was returned, that Is no compensation
for the want of water these drOuthy
times. 1t presses with peculiar hard
ship in depriving her of giving baths to
patients, as source OF income.
Is IL the sense of the people, that the
WRterwOrks company is clothed with
absolute power, TO do through It's subal-
terms, just as it pleases, in Withholding
neediul supply Of water, on fair cOndi-
tiOns to the citizens?
Mr.. Breckenridge Is known TO be q
good man, and such wrong must be
without his knowledge. CIvIs.

How TO Select a Wife.

Coed health, good morals, good sense, and
good temper, are the four essentials for good
WHO. These are the indisDonsables. Atter
them come the minor advantages of good
looks, accomplishments, family position, etc.
with the first four, married life will be com
Portable and happy. Lacking either, II VIII be
in more or less degree IA failure. Upon good
health depends largely good temper and good
looks, and TO some extent good sense also, as
the best mind must be affected more or less
by the weaknesses and whims attendant on
frail health. Young man, II your wife is fall

II DIR. Rutherford should expose his
scalp in New Orleans he would probably
be snatched bald-headed. AprOpos Of
DIR. Rutherford the public mind is still
little curious to know under what pecu-
liar construction of the statutes his line
for carrying concealed weapons WAS re-
mitted. Ii is by just such tOm-fOol acts
as this that law Is vOided and made
mere empty sound. No wonder the
statute against carrying concealed weap-
Ons is so generally disregaTded. Men,
phis, Tenn, has a law very similar to
our own against carrying concealed
weapons, yet her courts held a very DIFF
ferent opinion concerning this matter In
very important attempted murder
case. The superintendent and captain
ola convict gang working the public
roads, carried his pistol on HE person
while returning from the Jail in which
he locked his prisoners to his own
house. On the way home he became in
volved in quarrel and shot man.
The courts held that carrying his pis-
tol after seeing his gang Gagged was con-
trary to law and the full extent OF the
penalty WAS exacted, he was then tried
for assault with intent to kill and sent
up for two years. Under what pre-
tenee was DR.. Rutherford entitled to
carry pistol? That is the question.

On the 22d of November, 1909, the
Due de Galore, then minister for
foreign affairs at Paris, wrote to the
DUO de Vicence, French ambassad or at
St. Petersburg, to ask whether Napo-
Icons proposal for the hand of the
Emperor Alexander's lister, the
Grand Duchess Anne, would be favor
ably received. An immediate answer
was required. At that date mes
sengers took a fortnight to reach St.
Petersburg from Paris; the answer to
the dispatch of the ed had not, conse-
quently, arrived when, on the 3oth of
November Napoleon's divorce was
finally settled. On the 10th OF Decem.
Der Joshepine held her last reception
at the Tulleries, which she was about
to quit forever. While waiting for their
carriages a remarkable conversation
took place between NJ. de semonville,
who was then high in favor at court,
and NJ. de Flo;et, one of the secreta-
ries of the Austrian EN- bassy, in which
it transpired that the hand of the
Archduchess Marie Louise would not
be refused should Napoleon ask for
it. This news was at ones communi.

that the soldier was peaceably walking

The Famous Southern Ora tor.

Editor Henry w. Gray, of the At
lanta Constitution, who delivered the
famous speech on 'The New South"
Mt the dinner ofthe New England So
siety recently, and which made him q
national reputation, has piercing
black eyes, raven hair, a charmingly
frank manner, and peculiarly grace
lul bearing as ON orator. When he
arose to deliver his speech he looked
upon thefaces of over 800 strangers.
He was the first soutlrerner to speak
at a dinner OF the society since the
war, and before him were men whose
names are synonyms Of legal acumen,
culture, and wealth Allwatched him
IDtently. Con. Sherman and DR.. Tai
mage had preceded him with speeches
highly eulogistic of the north,
and they too closely scanned the
earnest looking and dignified south
erner in we'll modulated tones, he be-
gan his speech. Hehadn'tsaids;x lines
before the assemblage broke out in a
storm of cheers. When MIR. Grady
spoke Of Abraham Lincoln as one OF
tho great types of American manhood,
a mighty shout went up, and when he
said, Dear to me are the home of
my childhood and the traditions ofmy
people" the applause of the New-Ene-
landers brought a happy smile to his
face and an added brightness to his
eyes. From that moment Mr.. Grady
appeared at home. His peroration
was listened to in asilence that betok-
ened the intense interest of his audi
enee, and in closing, when he asked tho
New Englanders il the. north would
permit the prejudice Of war to remain
in the hearts Of the couquerors when
It had died id the hearts Of the con.
quered, the 300 throats Numbered out
